Wow the comments, shaming this poor woman for wanting to escape violence. Shame on you people in the comments, you should be sad for her not angry 🤦🏻♂️
Interesting story and I understand all your concerns and it’s good to get a better life abroad However I lived in the UK for over 30 and I can tell you the west is not a long term answer for black peoples Some how we have to reclaim our continent from our corrupt elites There is no place like home
Facts!!! I’m a Public Administration and Management graduate and I’ve struggled to find work for 3 years now.... not even an internship. This govt has closed so many opportunities for us due to corruption and it’s incompetence. At this point relocation is my only option to live a decent life.
Very sad and bad nelee - This ANC is unfixable - destroyed everything they found working - lowered pass mark to 30% . Hope you find work - may God Assist you.
Not going to lie this is the first time I have heard this type of story from a African (Black) point of view it’s generally the other races within South Africa that move. The truth is now after the looting and drama in KZN & Gauteng this video is so raw and true we are all feeling it. Where do we go? Should we go? What about family and children? Like you said the democracy is a illusions. We don’t actually have control in this country and any direction 👍🏼
There is something about us blacks and keeping quiet even when we are suffering. White people complain literally all the time when they are unhappy. They are vocal but we choose silence for some reason that I may never understand. I've been attacked by black people saying that I'm lying about my experience. Some called me a traitor and I'm like wait a minute, aren't you suffering the same way I suffered? They said I should have kept my mouth shut because now I sound like I'm a white person. Njanieeeee. I refuse to keep quiet and I'm glad I left.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa so sad that we are all feeling this way. Glad you have a better opportunity- hubby and I are now looking into what we can do. It’s a costing factor now.
I'm a 93 baby in America. Yes, where is the freedom and resources We were promised as Black People globally? We are literally in the same boat and y'all are who I can relate to the most in Africa. Our experiences are too similar. :) All the best to you and yours!
How is she Badmouthing South Africa, when the News Channels report on such issues every single day??? The current state of our country is not a secret. Things are bad and the government is not doing anything to try and fix the country. We can't spend the rest of our lives fighting, bathong life is meant to be enjoyed. The problem with us Black people is that we have romanticized Struggle and Suffering. Life is not meant to be lived this way please. Anyways, Wish you the best of luck Promise . You made a decision that is best for you and your family ❤ That's all that matters .
Same day I’m chasing away investors. Me? Njani??? This is not a secret as you said and we have experienced this. Some want me to come back and call me a coward for leaving. I’d rather be a coward than struggle as if Mandela went to jail to pass time. Thank you so much for the well wishes ❤️...
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Bless you, thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I'm sorry about what happened to your husband, but you're right, there is always a positive after the darkest times. Whilst South Africa is surely missing you; your education and intelligence, your smile and your family, the government aren't providing you with the things you need for you and your family to grow and you're in no way a coward. It's heartbreaking because the country is so beautiful and has so much potential but pushes so many skilled South Africans away, day after day. Keep voting from Australia, one day I hope South Africa will blossom and you will be able to relax knowing the family you left behind can flourish in a better South Africa. Lots of love from Spain
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Mandela didn't got to jail just for you and your husband,he went to jail for the entire nation and we aren't all in dire straits and just like any other developing nation we gonna have problems(yes worst problems do exist other developed and developing nations their citizens are just not lame enough to make CZcams videos downplaying their own countries) ,GET OVER YOURSELF .
Haters will hate, just cause you can't afford to leave this country you wanna hate on her cause she could. I think she did the right thing especially if it's for the sake of her kids, here's no future in S.A and why people be going on about other people struggling here cause lemme tell you something "me and you are 2 completely different individual people" so why must she endure what other people is okay with enduring when there is a solution and a way out, the only reason why people that struggle struggle because they don't have a way out but I bet if they did and had the same opportunities as this lady they would do the same. Stop trying to compare everything, if somebody wants to do something different let them be and stop feeling like everyone should live like you or experiencing what you going through.
@@smizijoy4529 We already have and it's ok if you don't want to accept that, just don't bring down others that are out there living a better life. It's all hate until it's someone you love, or even yourself, that gets hurt.
@@kristenbecker763 you can leave bro and no body is stopping you or you can stay and address the government to act right but if u are coward then you can fuck off
@@smizijoy4529 🤣ur busy fighting for a country which does not even prioritize u as a citizen u fight for Africa yet the leaders steal yr money ur foolish no wonder this lady left and she is enjoying her wat about u busy fighting on the streets day and night 4 peanuts busy telling people to leave newsflash people r leaving wena u will stay akiri ur terminator u want to fight keep fighting for limited resources 🤣foolishness at its best
People who emigrate, for whatever reason, do so quietly. There are multitudes of whites who "packed for Perth" and you hardly hear about them Down Under. Many who know and understand Aussies very well will advise you to remain silent and enjoy their peaceful country. They have a huge dislike of African immigrants.
Thanks for sharing. Your story resonates with me as we had too much stress trying to earn a living in crime ridden Durban. Flat burgled and they took as much as possible, car stolen, dogs stolen, attacked in the street for cheap costume jewellery, earning rubbish money for the jobs we were working so hard at. Rubbish state education for our child and got more into debt! we decided to immigrate to England. The turnaround in our lives now is nothing short of a miracle! God is truly great!!
People dont understand until they live it. But again, we can live the same life but have totally different ways of experiencing it. Relocating is painful but worth it
Amen sis.....I left SA 15 years ago to UK. I was jobless with 2 children. I took a chance to come here and that was the best decision I have ever done for myself and my children. I was lucky to settle here by God's Grace. UK gave me a chance in life, I went back to school and graduated as a nurse. My 2 children are in University and living the dream. I miss SA so much but I'm glad I left more especially for my children.
I’m so happy that UK has offered you a home. My kids want to experience snow and I was telling my husband that we should visit the UK one day. It’s hard to leave home but sometimes it’s necessary especially if you’re looking at evolving in life. I am truely happy for you and your family ❤️
The difference is, you do not think of yourself as a victim..and that is why you will succeed! You are a very strong person and I salute your courage. We have travelled down similar paths and now live in the USA. Good luck with your channel.
South Africa will humble you...was ready to leave my profession after i was robbed & stabbed doing my job. Luckily UAE Gov was looking for paramedics & i got the job
"When you're not free in your mind then you're not free".....so so true!!! I left Jozi....and never looked back. My sanity was restores...my enthusiasm about life was re-ignited....even though I was working in a country considered the 3rd poorest in the world. Changing one's narrative is SOLELY my responsibility.... Keep it up...♥️♥️♥️
i grew up in a village with acute asthma, my clinic had everything i needed ..i am 45 and still well..i gave birth via c section in Tembisa and i got the best care...i dnt understand how things works for other people...as for me i am NEVER leaving my SA.I love it..there is no heaven on earth sorry...abheke ngoba siyazondwa isizwe esinsundu langaphandle...
I couldn’t translate the last part. But what I will say is, in my village, we don’t have resources. My cousin has a botched c-section from a government hospital. They literally opened her stomach in half. We all have different experiences and that’s okay. There is heaven on earth... you just have to create it yourself sometimes
I'm an African American i leaving the US to come there in September, and I have a monthly income of over 50k that is deposited every month. I'm looking forward to living in SA. I want to build wealth and great jobs for my African sistas and brothers. My desire is to see you all prosper and be in great wealth. Here in America people getting killed, and violence is everywhere. There are challenges everywhere.
@@shanepereira. I don't give a fuck..I' grew up in the hood...then joined the military......I'm a trained killer with special skills. So shut the hell up
I honestly cannot do something like this. It seems desirable at times, but if we leave, who will fix the country to make it "unleavable" in the first place. I regularly watch videos of African Americans leaving the West and coming to Africa. But when they're here, they find that they have to start life like it's the 1800s because there aren't enough basic services that work. And there probably will never be because a Nigerian wants to "live their best life" as an engineer in a developed country, instead of fixing their own country so that people can live their best in that nation. All this made me realise that leaving the continent, ESPECIALLY as a Black person is detrimental to Black people. Here's what I mean. If South Africa were to fail...like say a Sudan, and we become another dirty African country, and everyone had to become refugees and move to "good countries" , which South African do you think will have a better time there, and which South Africans will get dirty looks? Black or White? You see, White South Africans can always run to the West and assimilate easily because they are the same ethnicity. Black South Africans and every other South African really will be labeled minorities and thus be marginalised. You see, if South Africa collapses, White South Africans have a back up plan. They have a safe haven they can go to, that wouldn't be difficult to adjust to. They have Europe, Black South Africans do not. We ONLY have Africa to fall back on. There is no "Europe" or "Australia" equivalent we can fall back on, if the country falls apart. Black Americans cannot do like the "Apartheid lovers of 1994" and flee to another White country when they get racially discriminated against. There is no Australia for them to run to! In Africa, the closest thing we have to an "Australia" or a developed White nation is South Africa. For African Americans who want to have the same privilege that a White person has, their only choice is South Africa! It would be so terrible for us as South Africans -specifically Black South Africans, to abandon the only developed Black nation IN THE WORLD! Instead of making it into the haven for people who want a different experience in their lives. But regardless, I am not against people who want to find happiness in their lives, just as realise the consequences of such.
Lu, I hear what ur saying but it's a bit of a wild blanket statement that white people have a European/Aussie backup plan. I'm from a white home, middle income bracket and there is NO way that we can financially move overseas. If things fall apart in SA our best hope is Namibia or Botswana, which by the way (along with Rwanda) offer some amazing quality of life that we as South Africans often arrogantly overlook. I'm here for the long haul for South Africa, but I say that from the cushy and patriotic position of never having experienced a hijacking, armed robbery, rape or viscious trauma. As Mike Tyson said "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." Strength and joy to you and your family Promise! Our country is going to miss u.
Sister I'm also living in Sa almost 7 years ,I'm also so depressed, I need to also leave soon .the same thing happened to me also almost twice. Thanks you so much to share your experience with us .there is so many sa citizens and foreign nations people who's so in depressed. The life one's we lost never gonna get again, that why we have take always the right decision for life. Thank you so much again.
I was very depressed as home and I know how it is like feeling like you have reached rock bottom in life. I do not wish that for anyone and I hope you manage to get out some day. Thank you for the support and feedback.
Oh my goodness I resonate with what you are saying so much. You carry the trauma because your family is still living it. We are applying for visas now for Aus. I have a daughter and I really don’t want to raise her to have to always be on high alert and live in fear. I really love SA and I don’t want to leave but we have to. For my daughter. South Africa has the best people Ibut unfortunately the rotten ones are spoiling the entire apple. So sorry you experienced that trauma! 💜
It's that fear of making it out alive due to crime and I know people might say crime is everywhere but such violent crime is not worth it. Relocating is scary but once you've done it and you're on the other side you start to see things differently. What occupations are you in and have you completed your skills assessments?
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa So true, crime in SA is just on a whole different level. The violence against women and children especially. My husband is a mechanical engineer and I have a law degree. He got a positive skills assesment so next step is is an EOI. 😊
@@LoveLaw that’s awesome. Have you guys tried applying for Jobs before coming this side? You can do so and secure something pending visa approval. It will help a lot
I don’t understand the hate and disgusting comments she’s speaking from her experiences ,she was fed up and looked for change so if you don’t like that go argue with your mother respectfully!❤️
Mama I'm not waiting for my husband to get shot before I leave. Your story is so helpful. I love my country but my family comes first. Thank you for example.
I'm in one of those weird moments where I don't want to say what I'm going to say because it instantly adds a certain type of nuance to the conversation and directs it to a place I have no desire to unpack......BUT, it's heartbreaking that a strong, black South African family doesn't feel that there's a place for them in South Africa because of our ridiculously unsafe society. Now listen, people migrate for a myriad reasons and at the end of the day we go to where the opportunity is. HOWEVER, in the case of our beloved Mzansi - it's not even that so many of us have left/are leaving because we don't have opportunity at home per se but rather because it's becoming a literal case of "life or death". There's a reason why South Africans abroad connect with each other so easily in spite of the differences that keep as apart at home - because overseas we're not saddled with them. Abroad we can just be our super sunny, happy, hospitable African selves without the need of modifiers first. It's just heartbreaking that our people are so scattered now, taking our special brand of humanity out of the mother country where it's needed the most...because our esteemed leaders insist on creating a society where marginalisation persists where it never needed to. So here we are. In an ever increasing diaspora united by an inherent sadness that we're not getting to live out our best lives in the country of our birth. With all of our history, as complex and tragic as it can be at times we are still of a generation that wants more. That believes in more. That aspires...to more and moreover can OFFER more - but there is seemingly none who would have it. Instead, we scrapple amongst ourselves at home for the one seat at the table - instead of creating more seats. More power to you Promise, I wish you every bit of success and luck that you and your family deserve but always remember that while your future lies abroad, the footprints of your past are firmly set in Mzansi.
I think on of the mistakes people do is to assume that you relocate because you did not want to develop your country. I did, but I was never given the opportunity and I believe a lot of people who have left might have felt the same way. There is great sacrifice that comes with relocating. It's scary and difficult but sometimes its the only choice you have
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa South Africa has 35% unemployment rate according to Reuters, why do you feel you should have been treated better than those other 35% who are without employment. Who do you think has denied you an opportunity to develop South Africa?There are a lot of self-made entrepreneurs who never looked for a hand outs. In your trashing of South Africa and Africans in general, you forget to mention the economic disparities that exist in South African society which contribute to high level of crime.You also fail to mentioned the fact that such disparities exist because of the horrible history which caused it's citizen to develop unequally. What percentage of South Africans that earn above R6000 to be able to pay income tax to be able to contribute to GDP?You're making a mistake by comparing Australia to South Africa, Australia is far richer than South Africa, that is why things generally run better than our country. You could have relate your story without putting other people down, the accent you did was not called for, and as a matter of fact, not every health institution in South Africa is the same as the one you experienced in Siyabuswa, but you painted a negative image of our health institutions to a person who do not know South Africa. You sound like what a typical racist person will say about our beautiful country and continent. Yes we are the butt joke or many, but many of us believe in this continent, just like in the past we will rise.I hope it will be in our lifetime that you see.
South Africa is nonsense! I don't blame you for leaving. And those people who are busy insulting you. Don't mind them. You didn't do this for them. I respect you for making this video.
Some comments used to get to me but i would always remember the keyboard warrior phenomenon and calm down. Half these people would not say the same thing if they were standing in front of me. And I know this triggers something in them so I just allow them to vomit and let it be.
I really empathise with your story. Zimbabwe is in a worse situation than South Africa. The country is a failed state thanks to decades of being ruled by a corrupt, incompetent and oppressive regime. Most Zimbabweans have accepted this fact and have adapted. It’s like a relationship between an abuser and the abused. Some people believe that they owe the current regime their loyalty because of the role they played in the war for independence against Smith government. Plus the media propaganda that paints the west as evil. Despite Mugabe and his cohorts’ atrocities, there are still people, even non Zimbabweans, who revere them as “heroes.” You’ll be shocked that there are people who will tell you that they would rather be oppressed by a black person than a white person. On the other hand, those who can afford it, migrate.
Leave Zimbabwe out of this. Stop comparing a rotten apple and a ripe orange. Focus on the matter at hand. Her reasons are valid dont gaslight them with that Zim nonsense
@TheKatangeseDollar, that is just one narrative, but there is another narrative that is different and less popular. The greatest sin Zimbabwe ever did was to have a land policy that was not favorable to the West, as a result of that, West used their economic muscle to teach Zimbabwe a lesson. How do you explain US Dollar being being equivalent to 1 billion Zimbabwean Dollars? How is Zimbabwe is expected to do anything with that kind of situation. It never help the situation the fact that in numerous occasion, Mugabe had publicly shamed the West for their hypocrisy.
A lot of y'all in the comment section are being so dramatic...this is her lived experience and she isn't okay with it and decided to relocate..she's allowed to do that..now maybe y'all are okay living in the conditions she decided to not deal with and that's cool...good for you...but at the end of the day you can't discredit one's lived experience just coz you never went through it or choose to deal with it...there are people who are South African who will feel this way just like there are people from the US who feel that way about America and relocate to other countries....someone talked about the money or how black people get paid or wealth gap or whatever...my family has lived in Australia for years...my mom is a nurse in Australia and she makes very good money, lives in a nice house that is paid for in a good neighborhood and my time in all the African countries I've lived in I haven't come across a nurse who lives the lifestyle my mom lives in her years as a nurse..she is actually good financially....so I don't see why someone should feel bad for relocating...now as much as the racism shit....Black people love yelling racism at everything...guess what...RACISM IS EVERYWHERE IN AFRICA WE EVEN HATE ON OUR DAMN SELVES AS BLACK PEOPLE...WHICH IS EVEN WORSE COZ WE LIKE TO SAY UBUNTU YET DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE...I got Nigerian friends who won't hesitate to talk shit about Ghana and Ghanaian friends who won't hesitate to talk shit about Nigeria....we won't even begin to mention how foreigners are treated down South.....yet we wanna scream racism when we don't even have our own houses in order.....BUT NEWSFLASH.......SA has Racist white people, Zimbabwe has Racist white people, Namibia has Racist white people Botswana has Racist white people so does Zambia and so on....especially in the southern region of Africa...you can't run away from it...it's 2022 move on...it could be the UK, the US, Canada I don't see why we would shun going to greener pastures in the name of pleasing a flag or in the name of patriotism. People should learn to put themselves first coz a flag isn't gonna give you a better life... government damn sure ain't gonna do nothing for you... If you have the opportunity to go overseas and earn a better living it's safe to say something is wrong if you don't take it because of rahcism...move on...Rahcism isn't new...it exists everywhere you go....keep it pushing...and if you like being in bad conditions because of a flag, country or continent don't crap on someone else's choice to not share those same sentiments.
I personally don’t have any problem with her leaving South Africa, but I take up issue with the bad she paints about South Africa. South Africa is a place of many contrast and extremes, you cannot compare Siyabuswa with Soweto for example. Watching the video without knowing all the facts you will think nothing ever works in South Africa, but it’s not true, there are manySouth Africans would a living a comfortable lives. We may not be like Australia, but hey we get things done in our own way.
@@velibrown7904 and that's fine...but let's remember that her experiences and yours or those who are living good are all different experiences. I've been to Cuba.... would I go there ever again? hell no...but there are some people out there who would go there 4 times a year for vacation... clearly they had a better experience than I did....I know so many people who lived in South Africa...me included...some people went overseas coz of how they felt foreigners are treated in SA since they went through some shit.. (which is disappointing) and there are people who are in SA saying that it's not as bad maybe coz they stay in nice neighborhoods like Fourways and Sandton...we have to understand that yes nothing is perfect and those imperfections affect people differently..at the end of the day this speaks to how as AFRICA we need to wake the fuck up... Coz Africans for one reason or the other are taking valuable skills and building other economies simply because we don't have out shit together...South Africans are leaving SA for greener pastures...check the news they even called it the great migration..people selling their properties, liquidating things to leave... We are a rich continent yet very poor...at the end of the day those situations can't be used to demonize migration like what's happening in the comment section. People experience things differently...
@@sashakay1208 If you left South Africa, and let's say it becomes worse than what it is, does that justify those who left the country taunt and laugh at the country they left. It took people to mess things up and it will take people to fix things up. I personally am very grateful for what my country has been able to provide for me, I am prepared to do whatever it takes , in my capacity to make it better, I don't think there's a better country out there, beside my country, I am prepare to lay my life for Mzansi!
@@velibrown7904 and that's okay...nobody says that's wrong for you to do...and she didn't laugh at the country she simply spoke on the things she didn't like being in South Africa and that is her lived experience..that's why I said everyone is entitled to whatever experience they have...I mean this is like someone saying this is why I don't like working in banks and I changed professions and then people in the banking industry get butt hurt coz someone doesn't like the industry...I mean she has her reasons for not liking whatever situation she had... And I guarantee there are a lot of people who feel that way and that's their right....but she did not laugh all she did is state her grievances. I think people should stop listening to react and listen to understand her situation..everyone is acting on emotions and not logic. If people acted with logic objectively instead of Subjectively conflicts would be less...you love your country and that's great she unlike you prefers her lifestyle over there and that's fine..it shouldn't affect how you feel coz it's her experience and you have yours just as everyone else. And that is okay. But she did not laugh.
@ Sasha Kay I have an impression that you think somehow I envy her because the chose to live in Australia, I don’t, I understand that it’s her right to choose where to live. I am not so sure how much you understand of non White culture of South Africa. She talks about here ordeal at the clinic where she took her husband to, she uses a certain accent to illustrate the attitude of the nursing staff. I understand exactly what she meant, it is a covert language that a racist person (or a person with little respect towards a township person) will use to communicate their attitude, hence I said she despises South Africa, she even generalized in saying that’s what they do in Africa. Africa has over 50 countries, she cannot have possible experienced all of them. When the late Osama bin Laden called Americans were a nation of infidels, many Americans took offense to it, it was never said that Bin Laden was expressing his expériences, so he is entitled to it. It’s easy to disrespect Africans because we don’t have a power to retaliate, the World has gotten used to associate any negative thing with us. Donald Trump called us shit hole countries, and he never was called into order.
Lol I'm glad you enjoyed the video. How far are you with the process? We helped some friends to get vet jobs this side but due to covid they did not make it in time. Connect with me via Instagram or Facebook. My husband can help you with the process if you're interested.
Hi Marcel, have you made the move yet? I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about people looking to migrate from SA to ocuntries like Oz or Canada and was wondering if you would be intersted in speaking to me? Please let me know if you think you would. Joe
Someone referred me here, I listened from beginning to end and could relate in so many ways. I feel caged in this environment tht doesn't allow me to "be my best self". It's time I free myself. Thank you for sharing. I sure have something to think about now.
I always say that this is something your ancestors or God or whoever you talk to has to approve. You have to listen to your inner you because you're going to need the strength throughout the process
Absolutely appreciate this video! I lived in Sydney for 13 years and relocated back to SA and after 7 years here in SA we have decided that we want to give Australia a try for our family. We are waiting to leave in the next few months. Would absolutely love to meet you! I can relate to every single thing!
I have no idea what that means...does it mean that your are waiting for the government to allow flights in the country? At least there is hope that’s the main thing for me
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa to be honest I'm not 100% sure but I think it is a waiting list for citizens and PR's to return to Australia from other counties, the self isolation centre in Darwin puts me off though looks like a fancy prison! I can't wait to start over with my family :) How was your first year in Australia, immigration can be really scary especially when you don't have family
My first year was depressing. I don't want to lie. I felt like I lost a huge part of myself. But I kept focused and reminded myself why I was here and life just continued
I totally love your channel Promise. So happy you're now feeling useful in Australia. I can tell you will thrive and succeed. I hope your husband is fully healed now
I like your storytelling 😊 Sorry for your experience. I left too. Never going back. Love Africa with all my heart but romanticising about it will not put food on the table, provide safety for my children nore a future for them.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I would like to know where you migrated to if you do not mind sharing. Making the decision to relocate was not easy at all but God know what the heart wants and this is where we were lead. We do not regret it at all. Home is home and will forever be home but the life we got there was not giving us what we needed in this lifetime.
We relocated to Melbourne Australia. Was tough the first 3 to 5 years, wanting to go back etc. It's been 10 years now. No longer looking back, only forward. That said, will always be a Springbok supporter if they play against Australia 😊
I immigrated out of South Africa 20 years ago to the United States of America. I miss South Africa ALOT but it just wasn't safe at all and also, I still have dreams about South Africa. I miss it a lot but deep down inside, it was the best move my family could have made. Also, I am black and I have a South African Passport. I dream of stepping on african soil again one day....
We have to go home, to recharge then go back out there to do our thing. Home is home, and that can never change but sometimes you have to save yourself and put yourself first.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa YOU ARE 100 PERCENT Correct. I believe it's time for me to come back home and recharge...when i get to the airport im sure they will be like where the HECK have you been the last 20 somewhat years LOL.. i miss nandos chicken..cricket,,,rugby..ORLANDO PIRATES...Durban Beach... OH I WILL CRY So hard when i get back
It is so important to know when to quit I literally quit my job yesterday thinking of moving in with my parents so I can get rid of the pressure. I’m so done
Fellow 1993 girl living in England and it’s not violence but it’s tough here! I want a better life for my son I’m a nice and it’s getting worse by the day! I pray I’ll make it there to Aus sooner or later.!
Thlologelo you are an inspiration you are a pleasure to listen too, I feel my heart full of nostalgia hear your wonderful personality one thing I miss from South Africa is the way black South Africans speak english, people may think I am being racist mentioning the accent and way Black South Africans speak but is a term of endearment, as it is one of the most beautiful things of African people as it shows the beauty of the African soul, I too moved to Australia and have built a good life here, I would be dead already if I had stayed in SA having Diabetes and blood clots my biggest sadness is when we voted for one man one vote all whites new that was the end of Apartheid which was necessary as it was an degrading evil, most whites were expecting to see all races especially Black people lives upfift to a middle class lifestyle we as whites enjoyed, and to how the ANC has destroyed everyones dreams except their own selfish lives is so so sad, so happy you managed to get out and build a wonderful for yourself and family you should send your video to TED TALKS as you have a gift and are an amazing speaker you are a beautiful person with so much to give to humanity
I totally understand why you left South Africa 🇿🇦. I left Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 too and though I left the ache I have every day of not seeing my Mother and Grandmother and extended family is so hard to bear.
I lost my grandmother about two years into my relocation, it was hard. But I had to accept that this could happen anytime. We love our families but as the bible says, we would leave our mother and father to create our own lives and go our own way. It's part of life. I hope you find solace in knowing that you are not alone in this.
Thank you so much for everything you said. As a South African I can relate to it all. Just two days ago my Uncle was shot in a hijacking. The depression and the feeling of being stuck is real ... ai... "there is no progress"... nail on the head...Thank you for the great content...
Thank you so much for watching. I’m an so sorry for your uncle. I don’t want to even go back to my own experience of a violent crime 💔. It’s devastating feeling hopeless.
U see white man are laughing at us, took our land n now tell us to leave our country. DNT be fooled by them. Y are they still here. Asibone ngabo qala. Dear them to leave sa.
Thank you 💕😊 for the video. All along I thought I was paranoid of being shot. It's actually something that can happen anytime South Africa is not safe. God bless you on your journey.
I used to think black South Africans dont emmigrate till I started to see all my friends leave.Yoh many people are leaving because of money and better opportunities.
Yeah, we somehow told ourselves that only white people hop around countries. South Africans are not as open to migrating compared to other Africans such as Nigerians and Zimbabweans. I always tell people to leave now when they still have the chance to do so. There is a lot to learn out there. We should not limit ourselves
Hi Vanessa, has the recent looting made you want to emigrate? I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about people looking to migrate from SA to ocuntries like Oz or Canada and was wondering if you would be intersted in speaking to me? Please let me know if you think you would. Joe
I've been robbed 3 times not by an ordinary civilians but by the police, they just stopped me searched me found money and casually said I need this took a couple of notes, funny thing is one time I had to negotiate because i needed transport money! I then called the police they spoke as if I was bothering them, I knew I had to leave!
After having thought that I had completed all the requirements to move to South Korea (teaching english), the department of international relations and cooperation hit me with a curve ball on my final stage, saying the processing time for legalizing my document was 6 to 8 weeks 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 previously took 1 day 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wow you're amazing girl. I'm working in a township (NPO). And I just can't anymore. This video actually nearly made me cry. Ur so inspirational. I have irish passport, and just a few days ago made the decision im going.. I'll be in there max 2 years when my ducks in a row. Thanks girl. I love this country but i can't anymore. (I have been mugged violently 5 times)
I’m so sorry for your experience. I have lived in Jhb for over 5 years and never really got mugged but living with that fear everyday is dehumanising. Everyday is a new story about how someone got robbed and how they survived that. I hope all goes well with your relocation journey 😘
Hi Joanne, I'm sorry to hear about the muggings. I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about those looking to leave SA for place like Canada, Oz etc especially after the events of the other week and was wondering if you'd be interested in speaking to me on your situation and thoughts on wanting to leave?
I hear you 100% We left SA for Canada. And YES ,the grass is definitely greener on the other side. I will never go back ! My children's future is my job. My children are my responsibility. This is the reason we left.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa We left 3,5 years ago. The houses in Canada are geared up for cold. Everything is temp regulated from houses to shops to buses. To be honest you don't really feel the cold and the kids absolutely love the snow !
@@arcane7779 my daughter Marang wants to experience snow so bad. When we came here in 2019, around Christmas she was ready for a white Christmas so we explained that it won’t be happening she said “so we travelled all the way from Africa to Australia and I cannot build a snow man, great”. She was 6 at the time 😂. Now she wants to shop an Walmart thanks to CZcams and Ryan. I am afraid of the cold. Maybe one we will visit. If you also decide to come this side for a visit let me know.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Australia is a bit far for us ,but I will say this .....when it does snow on Christmas day it is truly MAGICAL ! It also makes Santa Claus a bit more real(even for us adults). It's very cute watching the kids looking out the window for him and his reindeer. It can get cold ,but we are geared up for it here. You'll be very surprised. After living in Canada ,Russia doesn't seem so scary for a holiday.
Love how real you are👏🏾👊🏾 so many Black South Africans are so sensitive when it comes to these topics and would go as far as calling you a traitor, but hey I honestly advocate for doing what is best for you and must move if things are not working for you. We as Africans must be honest and point out the faults in our country and stop putting people in power when they are not helping us. Tired of SA😣
I honestly do not care much about anyone's opinion about who they perceive me to be. I know who I am and there was hell no way I would allow my children to grow up in shit just because I'm an African. That bus can miss me. We are so much happier here. Life is awesome. That's why I'm sharing this with fellow Africans to say hey, you're not a tree, you're not stuck. Leave as soon as possible
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa So true and I am motivated now more than ever to leave SA. Covid period showed me that SA is honestly a place one cannot feel secure and supported by the government. Glad you are happy and wish you all the best. As a parent, I am also motivated to seek the best opportunities for my kids.. Thank you so much! Highly encouraged.
@@bangibabs once you have decided let me know. I'm having groups organised on WhatsApp to help people migrate here. Watch my other videos to catch up and send me a message on any of my social media. Info is in my description. You're not a tree, your not stuck. Hamba!!!!
You are amazing. I would like to relocate, my husband is a Medical Technologist specializing in Immunology and I have a tourism qualification currently working for a medical aid company as a CLO. I pray God opens a door for us in another country, I don't want to raise my kids in SA, I don't feel safe here.
Hi Boitumelo, I'm a freelance journalist looking to write a piece about people wating to leave SA after the recent looting here and was wondering if you'd be interested in speaking to me? Please let me know and I'll send you over my contact details
@@boitumelosinesiphotabata1603 Great, well can you send me an email on joe.walsh660@gmail.com - we're essentially just looking for a few quotes on why you're looking to leave, how the latest violence/looting has impacted and a picture - but drop me an email & i'll explain more, thanks!
My sister am originally from Limpopo I went to Unisa I did supply chain management degree i haven't got job for three years until I joined a security company and work is a security guard..I did went to interview most of the company they want experience...I really felt robbed in this country for the whole 4 and half of studying the only job that you find easily is security or shops Or bar tender.. restaurant job... even after that I tried Business there compliances are rediculars..some they asked for bribe so that you get your documents..this country is not for us young black south African..soo much exploration in this security industry with very low income.....I really think you did yourself a favour and am happy for you
Wow, this resonates with me so much. I'm born in Pretoria but I grew up in Siyabuswa. I have a teriary qualification in IT that I got in 2019 and I still don't have a job! I am always contemplate on leaving this country even though i love it.
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. Hopefully manage to relocate. Remember Australia is not the only destination out there. I will try make videos about other countries South Africans can go to
Queen Elizabeth, you can't study IT and not have a job! Not in this day and age where IT is booming. Look harder please. Also, check twitter....too many IT opportunities there.
Thank you for the love and support. We all have our own views in life so they don't bother me. I actually like them. The more they watch and comment the more my content pops up on their feeds and I also get suggested. What they are doing works for me
I'm in the US and I'm glad to see you made a decision for a better life for you and your family. Some people want to keep praying and believing things will change and others will make things change by removing themselves and moving forward to a better life. I don't understand how black people just can't be happy for other black people who want a better life for themselves.
We were conditioned to attack each other. We find it hard to celebrate others. Im glad we left and I would never trade that for anything. I hope you are enjoying the US
But we can't be that negative about our country as if things are that bad is SA millions are flocking in to SA, we black SA people feel very bad when 1 of our own is spewing so much negativity and exaggeration about problems that different countries face. May black South Africans are thriving here at home and happy
Baltimore in America so much murders and drug abuse, racism in America is a big issue we saw black lives matter but people are flocking there, just watch videos millions are homeless is America but still millions are going there for better life
well discribed... finally a south african youtuber speaking the truth. most people in the comment section are in denial because these things happen so much (daily occurrence) that they are used to them...
Lol every person thinks their country is worse, believe me if she was to come stay in your country she would leave within a second of staying. South africa is the best in Africa but not compared to other countries in the world
@@maburwanejohannes4647 its funny because like her and you. im south African, yes born and raised in south Africa... i know the good, the bad and nasty things of south Africa because I have experienced it myself... south Africa is the best in infrasture, economy and some aspects but security... its one of the of the worst in the world
You are so blessed to have been able to move with your family. I’ve been living abroad for a year and I’ve decided to go back home because I missed having a support system, it’s been really lonely unfortunately. But I would defos advocate for people to move abroad and see a new side of life, even if it’s for a short period. Lovely video!
I can totally understand what you experienced. I could have never done with without my family. A lot of people to suffer from loneliness when they get here and that's why building relationships is important but it's hard as adults when we have work and a busy life. I do recommend people trying it because it is really eye opening and the challenge is good
Even ministers and presidents send their kids overseas and they relocate they know Africa has no future if it did their kids were going to contribute towards the economy but they dont Africa is a sinking ship as long as we have the leaders we have there wont be any change its better to move
Jealous of what? How can we be jealous for people who are going to other countries that is not considering aboriginal people serious like people of the country. How did they get help if South Africa 🇿🇦 is that bad best of luck in Australia 🇦🇺 and don’t talk bad about place you coming from as if you will be tread great in a foreign countries. You are not the only who has masters degrees in South Africa 🇿🇦 and you still angry 😡 stop lying I am free.
Hi Dineo, are you still thinking of 'making the move'. I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about people looking to migrate from SA to ocuntries like Oz or Canada and was wondering if you would be intersted in speaking to me? Please let me know if you think you would. Joe
I am sorry for what you went thru. I always tell SAns who wants to leave to move abroad, make money and return when corrupt govt is voted out and re-invest. Mzansi has full of possibilities to grow but currently its pulled back by the greedy useless ANC . Let us pray for the 'real' change of the country
I don’t think I will ever return. I don’t know. But right now, I don’t see that happening for me. RSA is beautiful, rich and yes full of potential but greed and selfishness is causing all this. It’s every man for themselves. I chose me and will always choose me. I will pray with you for better days ✊🏽
Our Problem with us black south africans- we do not understand voting and democracy. We vote without reading the manuscript of a party. We do not analysis parties and tick whsts good for you as an individual. Very unfortunate is our low educational levels which prevent us understanding POLITICS.
I hate how xenophobic South Africans can be especially to fellow black Africans. I am really sorry if this has been your experience and may you find it within you to forgive.
She doesn't care about that and probably won't do anything about it. She will be quiet and hypocrite, because her situation is going to be better than what indigenous are experiencing.
All things are relative. Just as you look to leave SA, others are looking to leave their home and come to SA because they are dissatisfied with their home for various reasons. Trust that the U.S. provides many reasons for Black people to leave.
We are staying here and we will fight until things get better whether it takes 50 years or so we will fight SA is not bad as she said. Better stay there when things get okay this side.
@@camischar3692 Hence he said we will fight even if it takes 50 years.Then implies he understood the conditions South Africa is facing and living on hope which we all have.
I understand her concerns and bad experience but she will soon find out running off to the west is not the answer for black Africans- not in the long term anyway 🙏🏽
Happy you are Safe now 😘 we are located in southern Cameroon right now and will like to relocate to Australia with my family due to the killings in my country right now
I’m am so sorry for whats happening. It’s sometimes harder to get into Australia but it is possible for as long as you can fight to meet the requirements. I pray you make it here ❤️
And what I hate most is that "when the ship sinks"(when SA becomes like Zimbabwe)and it WILL sink, they (all SA leaders) are gonna move to these European countries and we'll all be left here.... I'm moving shame. In 2022
They are set for life. So rich they can move to Dubai at any point in time. What about us? This is really painful I don’t want to lie. I am here to help those who want to jump off the titanic before it sinks. Because it’s sinking!
Big up to you and your family... 🙌🏿 I have a masters degree with Wits, but I never managed to get employment since 2008. I had to get myself working as a consultant on anything. And I know I will never get employed because I have a different perspective, not because I don't qualify.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa yeah... It has been terribly bad and when one loses hope at that point, you start questioning the reason for continuing learning to a level of PhD/Doctorate. I had to think out of the box, started a company, however government makes it impossible to operate and make money. Hence many of black owned companies are subsistence based, unless if you have good connections in government, who also have influence in the private sector.
@@boitumelohuma5300 yoh Boitumelo...this broke my heart. I know how it's like feeling stuck! There is no movement back home. This side most business opportunities set you up for life! You have to come this side. Keep the same momentum and drive when you get here.
I graduated I 2011, never got a job after my graduation. Now, I'm re-skilling myself and hustling on the side to just survive. Unfortunately, I can't leave S.A. My biggest worry about leaving is the medical costs for my parents and youngest sister. Were it not for that, I'd have left a long time ago. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here.
Hey Annette. I hope you're enjoying the UK. It's rough back home. All we can do is be hopeful that things will change. In the mean time, we just have to chase a better life.
First of all u don't know my level, being in Australia is not making u any better than any African who is in Africa, enjoy your foreign life while we enjoying being Africans in Africa, some people are doing very well here without leaving their continent, it, s all about positive mindset. Like i said enjoy your dollars and shut up.
@@bonisilenontshintshi7959 true. Let's stay and fix our country. I won't feel comfortable being a minority. I believe that we can still fix this. Rwanda people came back to their County and fixed it. They are not like other africans who see a problem and run away. These people will come back when it gets tough.
@@bonisilenontshintshi7959 one wiseman said...you know what never mind. You won’t get it. Thank you for watching. Next time watch me on mute. That’s the shut up button. It’s amazing
Wow! I love your critical thinking skills. You are spot on, all these political parties are just working for themselves. I always tell people that: “do not let political parties define what freedom is for you”. Define freedom for yourself.👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
We are not free. Not yet. We are going through a different kind of oppression back home. It’s worse when you are black and in the village. There is no hope for us. We try but we don’t get too far.
Leaving ones country is very traumatic. It takes great resolve to abandon all South Africa is, apart from the grave situation. A friend who spent ten years abroad and has been back on a few holidays, said that he was going back, and would rather face the panga than live away from the incomparable beauty and all other aspects any longer.
It's good that you move. So some of us will stay here and try to fix our country. If we all run away. Who will fix this mess? I believe that we can do it.
It makes me wonder when I see the African/black diaspora running back to the continent, to escape the West and other 'developed' countries, while those (not all) on the continent are leaving it. Mhmm. "Wanti wanti and getti getti"?
I perfectly understand that you don't hate your country South Africa 🇿🇦 but you have been disappointed by bad governance and life is too short to suffer in the name of patriotism. I left my s/hole country Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 for South Africa but SA is now on a downward spiral heading the ZIM way. It's time I leave Africa! Life is too short to suffer at the hands of poor governance by our so called comrades!
What’s happening at home is really heartbreaking. It’s getting worse everyday. I still have family that I wish I could help relocate but it’s a hard due to all the requirements. Life is too short, the world is huge and is ready to receive us.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa lol sis wami I never meant it in a bad way and I love ur sense of humor,kodwa ungakhohlwa this is home and you'll always be welcome here !🙏
@@siyabongabhongoza939 I didn’t receive it in a bad manner either hence I responded the way I did. Don’t feel so type of way. No hard feelings. I hope you are good and take care 👍
Well done on making the decision to leave South Africa for your families future - my family and I are leaving Cape Town for Aus next year 🙏🏻pray your family continues to succeed
Yourself and your husband are an asset to Australia. I thank you for bringing your collective intellect and goodness to our country. Australia is a better place for having you as citizens.
Thanks Vic Nicholas , we are still coming with all the good skills , your prime minister Scott Morrison is doing fantastic job . Your Economy is well run , even the Municipalities .
Never been there in SA. But I believe that the describing one sided image of your home country is unfair. Ok go to aus, us, UK do whatever you want but never ever disrespect to your home country who gave birth to you. I am from Pakistan and want to go first world country for new life style but I will never disrespect to my country. People should not ashamed to their birth place or race etc. Hope you find better in your future. Best of luck
It's not even disrespect, what she's saying is true.she hasn't even touched the subject of trying to report that hijacking case to the police🙆♀️.right now I'm typing this message in the dark cos we have loadsheding for four hours 3times a day,and because of that water can't be pumped so we had water 3days ago.if this lady really have to start touching every point it will take her days to state every injustice
Ashat ul haq She is speaking the truth South Africa is extremely dangerous and crime is terrible there are 59 homocides everyday on average. Also there is loadshedding where the electricity goes off for 2.5hrs .I am also from SA and I am planning on immigrating to New Zealand.
Wow thank you so much for this. I'm so happy for you and your family also glad you were able to overcome that depression. I can totally relate to your story. I'm also a Social Worker graduated in 2016 and still nothing.
Congratulations, listening to your story , tells me you and your family will do ok in Australia! Always remember , the Family is more important, and negative comments, it’s just LIP SERVICE! I left SA , during the Apartheid Government, could not vote, live where I want to , etc ! You came here out of choice , it’s up to you , how you live ! We have NO regrets , take care !!
Very unpopular opinion but so true. Could you make another video about what types of jobs South Africans can do in Australia? What scholarships are available there for foreigners? My boyfriend and I are working and studying in South Korea, we’re considering moving to either NZ or Australia when we are done with South Korea. PS: We thank the universe for your SO’s life. Love and light to you.
Many of us in the U.S. wish to move to S. Africa, I'm actually planning a trip in Jan/Feb. We are tired of the blatant racism in America. So how are the Aussies treating you?
Is it more of wanting the experience or you've not been full exposed to what happens there? There is no Wakanda in Africa. We don't have pet wild animals. We did have electricity until the crooks we have in parliament stole the money now we have no electricity. We are going through the most as well. Racism in South Africa is subtle which makes it harder to deal with because people can't see it but it's felt and smelt in the air. It's horrible. It's sad and depressing.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa my sweet sister the racism we still face in America pails in comparison to any discrimination that we could face in any other country/nation/territory/island in the world. Wakanda was a very nice movie, but we know it doesn't exist on earth. Solar panels and generators are the answer to power outages. Corruption in govt!? Lol. Do u know much about Washingon DC?
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa also, there are already black Americans in S.A. that refuse to come back home.. that alone speaks volumes. Our financial buying power allows us to go, possibly migrate, make contribution and sheild ourselves from some of the unsavoury aspects of "whole experience". So, thats a plus. I have 2 small dogs that demand my attention n thats enuf, thank u.
@@uphylme9350 I cannot say I know a lot about what’s going on in America apart from what we see in the news and movies and other forms of media sharing what’s going on. I try to not believe news because of how sensored it is at times. I remember when my husband and I spoke about relocating. We had an option to go to the US and we both did not feel comfortable because of the racism there...plus Trump. I hope that we could all love each other and move on from this. For our children’s sake and their children and and and and. It’s mentally exhausting.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa yes ma'am you are exactly right, it is very exhausting, but i am so happy that u made the right decision for your family, that you are safe and happy. I will 1rst visit SA several times b4 jumping in w/both feet...also considering other countries. In the meantime, be blessed and keep the U. S. In prayer. Thx
I'm so glad I found you, I came to Australia in 2016 and I like it. I wish you were in W.A Perth for a catch up,I really like your mental intelligence. I'm S.A from Pretoria mahlanyeng.😉
Please send a message on Instagram or Facebook. We have to link up. I have another family I know in Perth. Met on social media. I have to come that side to see you guys. We have to exchange contacts!!!!
Its getting wears by a minute,i am coming to Australia Adelaide waiting for my approval for student visa i have been following your channel you really helping us thank you.
Hi Nomtha can I please have your email address to contact you,I'm planning to study there from next year July and have been researching and stuff and I really hope I would find other south africans who are going to study there.
I'm glad I came across your video Promise- I'm so shocked by the level of ignorance portrayed in some of the comments made by South Africans bathong ba modimo. After everything you and your family went through and you being jobless with a Social Work qualification and skills?! The influx of unemployed graduates, the corruption and crimes and you still get people who are judgemental and rude towards those who leave SA for a better life?! Keep the videos coming Sis and please refrain from responding to those uninformed rude comments- ke mona fela.
I respond because the conversations keep my ratings up then youtube can have my videos as a suggestion so I like it. I'm not bothered because sadness and anger likes company. They don't want to be stuck alone. They want to keep me miserable and are not happy that I've sought something different. I don't mind them at all. I allow them to do as they find fit oksalayo they are watching me on CZcams hahah so I'm not bothered
Wow the comments, shaming this poor woman for wanting to escape violence. Shame on you people in the comments, you should be sad for her not angry 🤦🏻♂️
It's pure jealousy; I believe if they were offered an opportunity for a better life abroad, they would japa in a heartbeat .
Interesting story and I understand all your concerns and it’s good to get a better life abroad
However I lived in the UK for over 30 and I can tell you the west is not a long term answer for black peoples
Some how we have to reclaim our continent from our corrupt elites
There is no place like home
Facts!!!
I’m a Public Administration and Management graduate and I’ve struggled to find work for 3 years now.... not even an internship. This govt has closed so many opportunities for us due to corruption and it’s incompetence. At this point relocation is my only option to live a decent life.
me its been 2 years of unemployment! Also a graduate in Human Resources Management....kwaze kwanzima sisi
try to do honours degree, and apply for master bursary at international an university of your choice
Why not start your own business?
Very sad and bad nelee - This ANC is unfixable - destroyed everything they found working - lowered pass mark to 30% . Hope you find work - may God Assist you.
Not going to lie this is the first time I have heard this type of story from a African (Black) point of view it’s generally the other races within South Africa that move. The truth is now after the looting and drama in KZN & Gauteng this video is so raw and true we are all feeling it. Where do we go? Should we go? What about family and children?
Like you said the democracy is a illusions. We don’t actually have control in this country and any direction 👍🏼
There is something about us blacks and keeping quiet even when we are suffering. White people complain literally all the time when they are unhappy. They are vocal but we choose silence for some reason that I may never understand. I've been attacked by black people saying that I'm lying about my experience. Some called me a traitor and I'm like wait a minute, aren't you suffering the same way I suffered? They said I should have kept my mouth shut because now I sound like I'm a white person. Njanieeeee. I refuse to keep quiet and I'm glad I left.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa so sad that we are all feeling this way. Glad you have a better opportunity- hubby and I are now looking into what we can do. It’s a costing factor now.
Gather all you can, we had very limited resources when we relocated. We had to take out loans and sell stuff. Do whatever thats necessary
@Ashtyn Scott, I seriously wish I could get of here as soon as possible, everything is a mess. Literally everything, I'm tired of complaining 😒
I left SA for Germany because l definitely wasn’t feeling safe at all and lm black.I salute this lady coz she is saying exactly what l wish to say.
I'm a 93 baby in America. Yes, where is the freedom and resources We were promised as Black People globally?
We are literally in the same boat and y'all are who I can relate to the most in Africa. Our experiences are too similar. :)
All the best to you and yours!
How is she Badmouthing South Africa, when the News Channels report on such issues every single day??? The current state of our country is not a secret. Things are bad and the government is not doing anything to try and fix the country. We can't spend the rest of our lives fighting, bathong life is meant to be enjoyed. The problem with us Black people is that we have romanticized Struggle and Suffering. Life is not meant to be lived this way please. Anyways, Wish you the best of luck Promise . You made a decision that is best for you and your family ❤ That's all that matters .
Same day I’m chasing away investors. Me? Njani??? This is not a secret as you said and we have experienced this. Some want me to come back and call me a coward for leaving. I’d rather be a coward than struggle as if Mandela went to jail to pass time. Thank you so much for the well wishes ❤️...
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Bless you, thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I'm sorry about what happened to your husband, but you're right, there is always a positive after the darkest times. Whilst South Africa is surely missing you; your education and intelligence, your smile and your family, the government aren't providing you with the things you need for you and your family to grow and you're in no way a coward. It's heartbreaking because the country is so beautiful and has so much potential but pushes so many skilled South Africans away, day after day. Keep voting from Australia, one day I hope South Africa will blossom and you will be able to relax knowing the family you left behind can flourish in a better South Africa. Lots of love from Spain
I felt it when you said "romanticized Struggle and Suffering"
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Mandela didn't got to jail just for you and your husband,he went to jail for the entire nation and we aren't all in dire straits and just like any other developing nation we gonna have problems(yes worst problems do exist other developed and developing nations their citizens are just not lame enough to make CZcams videos downplaying their own countries) ,GET OVER YOURSELF .
I've recently(ish) moved to SA, so far so good - I'm enjoying it!
That’s awesome. I am glad you’re enjoying it. where are you from
And expect safety.
Welcome to SA. SA is like any other country. Each country has its challenges. And the challenges are unique like other countries' .
South Australia or South Africa?

Haters will hate, just cause you can't afford to leave this country you wanna hate on her cause she could. I think she did the right thing especially if it's for the sake of her kids, here's no future in S.A and why people be going on about other people struggling here cause lemme tell you something "me and you are 2 completely different individual people" so why must she endure what other people is okay with enduring when there is a solution and a way out, the only reason why people that struggle struggle because they don't have a way out but I bet if they did and had the same opportunities as this lady they would do the same. Stop trying to compare everything, if somebody wants to do something different let them be and stop feeling like everyone should live like you or experiencing what you going through.

People who emigrate, for whatever reason, do so quietly. There are multitudes of whites who "packed for Perth" and you hardly hear about them Down Under.
Many who know and understand Aussies very well will advise you to remain silent and enjoy their peaceful country. They have a huge dislike of African immigrants.
Thanks for sharing. Your story resonates with me as we had too much stress trying to earn a living in crime ridden Durban. Flat burgled and they took as much as possible, car stolen, dogs stolen, attacked in the street for cheap costume jewellery, earning rubbish money for the jobs we were working so hard at. Rubbish state education for our child and got more into debt! we decided to immigrate to England. The turnaround in our lives now is nothing short of a miracle! God is truly great!!
People dont understand until they live it. But again, we can live the same life but have totally different ways of experiencing it. Relocating is painful but worth it
Amen sis.....I left SA 15 years ago to UK. I was jobless with 2 children. I took a chance to come here and that was the best decision I have ever done for myself and my children. I was lucky to settle here by God's Grace. UK gave me a chance in life, I went back to school and graduated as a nurse. My 2 children are in University and living the dream. I miss SA so much but I'm glad I left more especially for my children.
I’m so happy that UK has offered you a home. My kids want to experience snow and I was telling my husband that we should visit the UK one day. It’s hard to leave home but sometimes it’s necessary especially if you’re looking at evolving in life. I am truely happy for you and your family ❤️
Slave nurse 💉 you don't own a backyard in the UK and you will never until you come back to Africa Good luck 🎲
@Unathi Ngunuza I was in hospital about 2 yrs ago, in ICU , in SA. Most of the nurses were black , they were good. ! I'm white, by the way.
@snlsnl44 very true!
@@Master_Zu rubbish comment because you can’t immigrate to ANYWHERE. In South Africa we existed; in the U.K. we are LIVING OUR BEST LIVES
The difference is, you do not think of yourself as a victim..and that is why you will succeed! You are a very strong person and I salute your courage. We have travelled down similar paths and now live in the USA. Good luck with your channel.
Thank you so much for this 😭❤️🥰 may God bless you. Thank you ❤️
South Africa will humble you...was ready to leave my profession after i was robbed & stabbed doing my job. Luckily UAE Gov was looking for paramedics & i got the job
Oh my goodness. I am so sorry for your experience. I hope you are good

"When you're not free in your mind then you're not free".....so so true!!! I left Jozi....and never looked back. My sanity was restores...my enthusiasm about life was re-ignited....even though I was working in a country considered the 3rd poorest in the world. Changing one's narrative is SOLELY my responsibility....
Keep it up...♥️♥️♥️
i grew up in a village with acute asthma, my clinic had everything i needed ..i am 45 and still well..i gave birth via c section in Tembisa and i got the best care...i dnt understand how things works for other people...as for me i am NEVER leaving my SA.I love it..there is no heaven on earth sorry...abheke ngoba siyazondwa isizwe esinsundu langaphandle...
I couldn’t translate the last part. But what I will say is, in my village, we don’t have resources. My cousin has a botched c-section from a government hospital. They literally opened her stomach in half. We all have different experiences and that’s okay. There is heaven on earth... you just have to create it yourself sometimes
I am white, and agree with you 100%. Best country in the world! I also have never being denied in my beautiful country
It’s a beautiful country...we have a long way to go as a human race but we will get there
I am also back in SA now after 30 years and I'm sorry to say things have collapsed, the ANC is a Mafia...and sadly I'll need to leave again...
Yeah, the country is run by thugs. It is very sad. Come to Aussie. Life is greener on this side.

Yep and things were going so well during Apartheid 😂😂😂😂
I'm an African American i leaving the US to come there in September, and I have a monthly income of over 50k that is deposited every month. I'm looking forward to living in SA. I want to build wealth and great jobs for my African sistas and brothers. My desire is to see you all prosper and be in great wealth.

sure my brada,come bck home n help built our beautiful SA n Africa,not listening to all de negativity
As a South African, I get it totally, brave to stay, brave to leave. Its just so sad.
I honestly cannot do something like this.
It seems desirable at times, but if we leave, who will fix the country to make it "unleavable" in the first place.
I regularly watch videos of African Americans leaving the West and coming to Africa.
But when they're here, they find that they have to start life like it's the 1800s because there aren't enough basic services that work. And there probably will never be because a Nigerian wants to "live their best life" as an engineer in a developed country, instead of fixing their own country so that people can live their best in that nation.
All this made me realise that leaving the continent, ESPECIALLY as a Black person is detrimental to Black people.
Here's what I mean.
If South Africa were to fail...like say a Sudan, and we become another dirty African country, and everyone had to become refugees and move to "good countries" , which South African do you think will have a better time there, and which South Africans will get dirty looks?
Black or White?
You see, White South Africans can always run to the West and assimilate easily because they are the same ethnicity.
Black South Africans and every other South African really will be labeled minorities and thus be marginalised.
You see, if South Africa collapses, White South Africans have a back up plan. They have a safe haven they can go to, that wouldn't be difficult to adjust to. They have Europe, Black South Africans do not.
We ONLY have Africa to fall back on.
There is no "Europe" or "Australia" equivalent we can fall back on, if the country falls apart.
Black Americans cannot do like the "Apartheid lovers of 1994" and flee to another White country when they get racially discriminated against.
There is no Australia for them to run to!
In Africa, the closest thing we have to an "Australia" or a developed White nation is South Africa.
For African Americans who want to have the same privilege that a White person has, their only choice is South Africa!
It would be so terrible for us as South Africans -specifically Black South Africans, to abandon the only developed Black nation IN THE WORLD!
Instead of making it into the haven for people who want a different experience in their lives.
But regardless, I am not against people who want to find happiness in their lives, just as realise the consequences of such.
Yeah people dont think of the long term. Just what benefits them right now.... I whole heartedly agree
Lu, I hear what ur saying but it's a bit of a wild blanket statement that white people have a European/Aussie backup plan. I'm from a white home, middle income bracket and there is NO way that we can financially move overseas. If things fall apart in SA our best hope is Namibia or Botswana, which by the way (along with Rwanda) offer some amazing quality of life that we as South Africans often arrogantly overlook. I'm here for the long haul for South Africa, but I say that from the cushy and patriotic position of never having experienced a hijacking, armed robbery, rape or viscious trauma. As Mike Tyson said "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." Strength and joy to you and your family Promise! Our country is going to miss u.
Sister I'm also living in Sa almost 7 years ,I'm also so depressed, I need to also leave soon .the same thing happened to me also almost twice. Thanks you so much to share your experience with us .there is so many sa citizens and foreign nations people who's so in depressed. The life one's we lost never gonna get again, that why we have take always the right decision for life. Thank you so much again.
I was very depressed as home and I know how it is like feeling like you have reached rock bottom in life. I do not wish that for anyone and I hope you manage to get out some day. Thank you for the support and feedback.
Oh my goodness I resonate with what you are saying so much. You carry the trauma because your family is still living it. We are applying for visas now for Aus. I have a daughter and I really don’t want to raise her to have to always be on high alert and live in fear. I really love SA and I don’t want to leave but we have to. For my daughter. South Africa has the best people Ibut unfortunately the rotten ones are spoiling the entire apple. So sorry you experienced that trauma! 💜
It's that fear of making it out alive due to crime and I know people might say crime is everywhere but such violent crime is not worth it. Relocating is scary but once you've done it and you're on the other side you start to see things differently. What occupations are you in and have you completed your skills assessments?
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa So true, crime in SA is just on a whole different level. The violence against women and children especially. My husband is a mechanical engineer and I have a law degree. He got a positive skills assesment so next step is is an EOI. 😊
@@LoveLaw that’s awesome. Have you guys tried applying for Jobs before coming this side? You can do so and secure something pending visa approval. It will help a lot
I agree l moved to Australia 8 yrs ago for same reasons.

Mama I'm not waiting for my husband to get shot before I leave. Your story is so helpful. I love my country but my family comes first. Thank you for example.
All the best to you and your family! My partner and I are in the process of moving to Canada👌🏽 much love!
I'm in one of those weird moments where I don't want to say what I'm going to say because it instantly adds a certain type of nuance to the conversation and directs it to a place I have no desire to unpack......BUT, it's heartbreaking that a strong, black South African family doesn't feel that there's a place for them in South Africa because of our ridiculously unsafe society.
Now listen, people migrate for a myriad reasons and at the end of the day we go to where the opportunity is.
HOWEVER, in the case of our beloved Mzansi - it's not even that so many of us have left/are leaving because we don't have opportunity at home per se but rather because it's becoming a literal case of "life or death". There's a reason why South Africans abroad connect with each other so easily in spite of the differences that keep as apart at home - because overseas we're not saddled with them. Abroad we can just be our super sunny, happy, hospitable African selves without the need of modifiers first.
It's just heartbreaking that our people are so scattered now, taking our special brand of humanity out of the mother country where it's needed the most...because our esteemed leaders insist on creating a society where marginalisation persists where it never needed to.
So here we are. In an ever increasing diaspora united by an inherent sadness that we're not getting to live out our best lives in the country of our birth. With all of our history, as complex and tragic as it can be at times we are still of a generation that wants more. That believes in more. That aspires...to more and moreover can OFFER more - but there is seemingly none who would have it.
Instead, we scrapple amongst ourselves at home for the one seat at the table - instead of creating more seats.
More power to you Promise, I wish you every bit of success and luck that you and your family deserve but always remember that while your future lies abroad, the footprints of your past are firmly set in Mzansi.
I think on of the mistakes people do is to assume that you relocate because you did not want to develop your country. I did, but I was never given the opportunity and I believe a lot of people who have left might have felt the same way. There is great sacrifice that comes with relocating. It's scary and difficult but sometimes its the only choice you have
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa South Africa has 35% unemployment rate according to Reuters, why do you feel you should have been treated better than those other 35% who are without employment. Who do you think has denied you an opportunity to develop South Africa?There are a lot of self-made entrepreneurs who never looked for a hand outs.
In your trashing of South Africa and Africans in general, you forget to mention the economic disparities that exist in South African society which contribute to high level of crime.You also fail to mentioned the fact that such disparities exist because of the horrible history which caused it's citizen to develop unequally.
What percentage of South Africans that earn above R6000 to be able to pay income tax to be able to contribute to GDP?You're making a mistake by comparing Australia to South Africa, Australia is far richer than South Africa, that is why things generally run better than our country.
You could have relate your story without putting other people down, the accent you did was not called for, and as a matter of fact, not every health institution in South Africa is the same as the one you experienced in Siyabuswa, but you painted a negative image of our health institutions to a person who do not know South Africa. You sound like what a typical racist person will say about our beautiful country and continent. Yes we are the butt joke or many, but many of us believe in this continent, just like in the past we will rise.I hope it will be in our lifetime that you see.
South Africa is nonsense! I don't blame you for leaving. And those people who are busy insulting you. Don't mind them. You didn't do this for them. I respect you for making this video.
Some comments used to get to me but i would always remember the keyboard warrior phenomenon and calm down. Half these people would not say the same thing if they were standing in front of me. And I know this triggers something in them so I just allow them to vomit and let it be.
I really empathise with your story. Zimbabwe is in a worse situation than South Africa. The country is a failed state thanks to decades of being ruled by a corrupt, incompetent and oppressive regime. Most Zimbabweans have accepted this fact and have adapted. It’s like a relationship between an abuser and the abused. Some people believe that they owe the current regime their loyalty because of the role they played in the war for independence against Smith government. Plus the media propaganda that paints the west as evil. Despite Mugabe and his cohorts’ atrocities, there are still people, even non Zimbabweans, who revere them as “heroes.” You’ll be shocked that there are people who will tell you that they would rather be oppressed by a black person than a white person. On the other hand, those who can afford it, migrate.
Leave Zimbabwe out of this. Stop comparing a rotten apple and a ripe orange. Focus on the matter at hand. Her reasons are valid dont gaslight them with that Zim nonsense
Spot on! 100%
@TheKatangeseDollar, that is just one narrative, but there is another narrative that is different and less popular. The greatest sin Zimbabwe ever did was to have a land policy that was not favorable to the West, as a result of that, West used their economic muscle to teach Zimbabwe a lesson. How do you explain US Dollar being being equivalent to 1 billion Zimbabwean Dollars? How is Zimbabwe is expected to do anything with that kind of situation. It never help the situation the fact that in numerous occasion, Mugabe had publicly shamed the West for their hypocrisy.
I cannot tell you how impressed with you. We wish you all the very best in your future. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
A lot of y'all in the comment section are being so dramatic...this is her lived experience and she isn't okay with it and decided to relocate..she's allowed to do that..now maybe y'all are okay living in the conditions she decided to not deal with and that's cool...good for you...but at the end of the day you can't discredit one's lived experience just coz you never went through it or choose to deal with it...there are people who are South African who will feel this way just like there are people from the US who feel that way about America and relocate to other countries....someone talked about the money or how black people get paid or wealth gap or whatever...my family has lived in Australia for years...my mom is a nurse in Australia and she makes very good money, lives in a nice house that is paid for in a good neighborhood and my time in all the African countries I've lived in I haven't come across a nurse who lives the lifestyle my mom lives in her years as a nurse..she is actually good financially....so I don't see why someone should feel bad for relocating...now as much as the racism shit....Black people love yelling racism at everything...guess what...RACISM IS EVERYWHERE IN AFRICA WE EVEN HATE ON OUR DAMN SELVES AS BLACK PEOPLE...WHICH IS EVEN WORSE COZ WE LIKE TO SAY UBUNTU YET DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE...I got Nigerian friends who won't hesitate to talk shit about Ghana and Ghanaian friends who won't hesitate to talk shit about Nigeria....we won't even begin to mention how foreigners are treated down South.....yet we wanna scream racism when we don't even have our own houses in order.....BUT NEWSFLASH.......SA has Racist white people, Zimbabwe has Racist white people, Namibia has Racist white people Botswana has Racist white people so does Zambia and so on....especially in the southern region of Africa...you can't run away from it...it's 2022 move on...it could be the UK, the US, Canada I don't see why we would shun going to greener pastures in the name of pleasing a flag or in the name of patriotism. People should learn to put themselves first coz a flag isn't gonna give you a better life... government damn sure ain't gonna do nothing for you... If you have the opportunity to go overseas and earn a better living it's safe to say something is wrong if you don't take it because of rahcism...move on...Rahcism isn't new...it exists everywhere you go....keep it pushing...and if you like being in bad conditions because of a flag, country or continent don't crap on someone else's choice to not share those same sentiments.
I personally don’t have any problem with her leaving South Africa, but I take up issue with the bad she paints about South Africa. South Africa is a place of many contrast and extremes, you cannot compare Siyabuswa with Soweto for example. Watching the video without knowing all the facts you will think nothing ever works in South Africa, but it’s not true, there are manySouth Africans would a living a comfortable lives. We may not be like Australia, but hey we get things done in our own way.
@@velibrown7904 and that's fine...but let's remember that her experiences and yours or those who are living good are all different experiences. I've been to Cuba.... would I go there ever again? hell no...but there are some people out there who would go there 4 times a year for vacation... clearly they had a better experience than I did....I know so many people who lived in South Africa...me included...some people went overseas coz of how they felt foreigners are treated in SA since they went through some shit.. (which is disappointing) and there are people who are in SA saying that it's not as bad maybe coz they stay in nice neighborhoods like Fourways and Sandton...we have to understand that yes nothing is perfect and those imperfections affect people differently..at the end of the day this speaks to how as AFRICA we need to wake the fuck up... Coz Africans for one reason or the other are taking valuable skills and building other economies simply because we don't have out shit together...South Africans are leaving SA for greener pastures...check the news they even called it the great migration..people selling their properties, liquidating things to leave... We are a rich continent yet very poor...at the end of the day those situations can't be used to demonize migration like what's happening in the comment section. People experience things differently...
@@sashakay1208 If you left South Africa, and let's say it becomes worse than what it is, does that justify those who left the country taunt and laugh at the country they left. It took people to mess things up and it will take people to fix things up. I personally am very grateful for what my country has been able to provide for me, I am prepared to do whatever it takes , in my capacity to make it better, I don't think there's a better country out there, beside my country, I am prepare to lay my life for Mzansi!
@@velibrown7904 and that's okay...nobody says that's wrong for you to do...and she didn't laugh at the country she simply spoke on the things she didn't like being in South Africa and that is her lived experience..that's why I said everyone is entitled to whatever experience they have...I mean this is like someone saying this is why I don't like working in banks and I changed professions and then people in the banking industry get butt hurt coz someone doesn't like the industry...I mean she has her reasons for not liking whatever situation she had... And I guarantee there are a lot of people who feel that way and that's their right....but she did not laugh all she did is state her grievances. I think people should stop listening to react and listen to understand her situation..everyone is acting on emotions and not logic. If people acted with logic objectively instead of Subjectively conflicts would be less...you love your country and that's great she unlike you prefers her lifestyle over there and that's fine..it shouldn't affect how you feel coz it's her experience and you have yours just as everyone else. And that is okay. But she did not laugh.
@ Sasha Kay I have an impression that you think somehow I envy her because the chose to live in Australia, I don’t, I understand that it’s her right to choose where to live. I am not so sure how much you understand of non White culture of South Africa. She talks about here ordeal at the clinic where she took her husband to, she uses a certain accent to illustrate the attitude of the nursing staff. I understand exactly what she meant, it is a covert language that a racist person (or a person with little respect towards a township person) will use to communicate their attitude, hence I said she despises South Africa, she even generalized in saying that’s what they do in Africa. Africa has over 50 countries, she cannot have possible experienced all of them. When the late Osama bin Laden called Americans were a nation of infidels, many Americans took offense to it, it was never said that Bin Laden was expressing his expériences, so he is entitled to it.
It’s easy to disrespect Africans because we don’t have a power to retaliate, the World has gotten used to associate any negative thing with us. Donald Trump called us shit hole countries, and he never was called into order.
Loved this- you gave us so many laughs. I'm also a vet in SA; my partner and I are currently in the process of making the move to Aus

I'm sorry that happened to your family. Everything you said is relevant and substantiated a good reason to leave her. Its almost like being set free.

Thank you babe
Absolutely appreciate this video! I lived in Sydney for 13 years and relocated back to SA and after 7 years here in SA we have decided that we want to give Australia a try for our family. We are waiting to leave in the next few months. Would absolutely love to meet you! I can relate to every single thing!
I would absolutely love to meet you too. Do let me know when you’re back. I hope the borders open soon for South Africans to come in
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa hopefully soon we are on a chartered flight list to return!
I have no idea what that means...does it mean that your are waiting for the government to allow flights in the country? At least there is hope that’s the main thing for me
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa to be honest I'm not 100% sure but I think it is a waiting list for citizens and PR's to return to Australia from other counties, the self isolation centre in Darwin puts me off though looks like a fancy prison! I can't wait to start over with my family :) How was your first year in Australia, immigration can be really scary especially when you don't have family
My first year was depressing. I don't want to lie. I felt like I lost a huge part of myself. But I kept focused and reminded myself why I was here and life just continued
God bless you all❤️#Respect ..... But i ain't leaving this country🇿🇦 🙏🏾
I’m very happy for you ❤️ and I hope you have a good stay and thank you for watching
I totally love your channel Promise. So happy you're now feeling useful in Australia. I can tell you will thrive and succeed. I hope your husband is fully healed now
I like your storytelling 😊
Sorry for your experience. I left too. Never going back. Love Africa with all my heart but romanticising about it will not put food on the table, provide safety for my children nore a future for them.
Thank you so much for the feedback. I would like to know where you migrated to if you do not mind sharing.
Making the decision to relocate was not easy at all but God know what the heart wants and this is where we were lead. We do not regret it at all. Home is home and will forever be home but the life we got there was not giving us what we needed in this lifetime.
We relocated to Melbourne Australia. Was tough the first 3 to 5 years, wanting to go back etc. It's been 10 years now. No longer looking back, only forward. That said, will always be a Springbok supporter if they play against Australia 😊
I immigrated out of South Africa 20 years ago to the United States of America. I miss South Africa ALOT but it just wasn't safe at all and also, I still have dreams about South Africa. I miss it a lot but deep down inside, it was the best move my family could have made. Also, I am black and I have a South African Passport. I dream of stepping on african soil again one day....
We have to go home, to recharge then go back out there to do our thing. Home is home, and that can never change but sometimes you have to save yourself and put yourself first.
Come home guys😢💔.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa YOU ARE 100 PERCENT Correct.

It is so important to know when to quit I literally quit my job yesterday thinking of moving in with my parents so I can get rid of the pressure. I’m so done
Fellow 1993 girl living in England and it’s not violence but it’s tough here! I want a better life for my son I’m a nice and it’s getting worse by the day! I pray I’ll make it there to Aus sooner or later.!
Thlologelo you are an inspiration you are a pleasure to listen too, I feel my heart full of nostalgia hear your wonderful personality one thing I miss from South Africa is the way black South Africans speak english, people may think I am being racist mentioning the accent and way Black South Africans speak but is a term of endearment, as it is one of the most beautiful things of African people as it shows the beauty of the African soul, I too moved to Australia and have built a good life here, I would be dead already if I had stayed in SA having Diabetes and blood clots my biggest sadness is when we voted for one man one vote all whites new that was the end of Apartheid which was necessary as it was an degrading evil, most whites were expecting to see all races especially Black people lives upfift to a middle class lifestyle we as whites enjoyed, and to how the ANC has destroyed everyones dreams except their own selfish lives is so so sad, so happy you managed to get out and build a wonderful for yourself and family you should send your video to TED TALKS as you have a gift and are an amazing speaker you are a beautiful person with so much to give to humanity
That "ive been shot" and everything after. I totally get your reaction.
Thank God he stayed alive
I know right. I am grateful everyday that our story did not end like many who have been killed because of crime. I am forever grateful
What 😳
I totally understand why you left South Africa 🇿🇦. I left Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 too and though I left the ache I have every day of not seeing my Mother and Grandmother and extended family is so hard to bear.
I lost my grandmother about two years into my relocation, it was hard. But I had to accept that this could happen anytime. We love our families but as the bible says, we would leave our mother and father to create our own lives and go our own way. It's part of life. I hope you find solace in knowing that you are not alone in this.
Congratulations on relocating to Australia! May you and your family be blessed❤
The crime thing is everywhere just relocate
No regrets more knowledge of other
People and excess
OPPORTUNITIES !
Shout out to you sis.
The higher the poverty the higher the crime rate. relocating is such an eye opener
Thank you so much for everything you said. As a South African I can relate to it all. Just two days ago my Uncle was shot in a hijacking. The depression and the feeling of being stuck is real ... ai... "there is no progress"... nail on the head...Thank you for the great content...
Thank you so much for watching. I’m an so sorry for your uncle. I don’t want to even go back to my own experience of a violent crime 💔. It’s devastating feeling hopeless.
U see white man are laughing at us, took our land n now tell us to leave our country. DNT be fooled by them. Y are they still here. Asibone ngabo qala. Dear them to leave sa.

I know! I am forever grateful that my story turned out like this for some, we all know how it goes 😒
Thank you 💕😊 for the video. All along I thought I was paranoid of being shot. It's actually something that can happen anytime South Africa is not safe. God bless you on your journey.
I used to think black South Africans dont emmigrate till I started to see all my friends leave.Yoh many people are leaving because of money and better opportunities.
Yeah, we somehow told ourselves that only white people hop around countries. South Africans are not as open to migrating compared to other Africans such as Nigerians and Zimbabweans. I always tell people to leave now when they still have the chance to do so. There is a lot to learn out there. We should not limit ourselves
Watching this video after the looting and downward spiral of S.A it sheds light on so many things it's not just about Zuma.
It’s got nothing to do with Zuma. People are hungry and angry. They are hurting

I've been robbed 3 times not by an ordinary civilians but by the police, they just stopped me searched me found money and casually said I need this took a couple of notes, funny thing is one time I had to negotiate because i needed transport money!
I then called the police they spoke as if I was bothering them, I knew I had to leave!
Oh my God!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. I am glad you did no get physically harmed. Let me know how your relocation journey goes

Wow you're amazing girl. I'm working in a township (NPO). And I just can't anymore. This video actually nearly made me cry. Ur so inspirational. I have irish passport, and just a few days ago made the decision im going.. I'll be in there max 2 years when my ducks in a row. Thanks girl. I love this country but i can't anymore. (I have been mugged violently 5 times)
I’m so sorry for your experience. I have lived in Jhb for over 5 years and never really got mugged but living with that fear everyday is dehumanising. Everyday is a new story about how someone got robbed and how they survived that. I hope all goes well with your relocation journey 😘
Hi Joanne, I'm sorry to hear about the muggings. I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about those looking to leave SA for place like Canada, Oz etc especially after the events of the other week and was wondering if you'd be interested in speaking to me on your situation and thoughts on wanting to leave?
I hear you 100%
We left SA for Canada. And YES ,the grass is definitely greener on the other side. I will never go back !
My children's future is my job. My children are my responsibility. This is the reason we left.
We also do not have plans to go back at all. It is way better this side. When did you guys move to Canada? How are you managing with the cold?
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa We left 3,5 years ago. The houses in Canada are geared up for cold. Everything is temp regulated from houses to shops to buses. To be honest you don't really feel the cold and the kids absolutely love the snow !
@@arcane7779 my daughter Marang wants to experience snow so bad. When we came here in 2019, around Christmas she was ready for a white Christmas so we explained that it won’t be happening she said “so we travelled all the way from Africa to Australia and I cannot build a snow man, great”. She was 6 at the time 😂. Now she wants to shop an Walmart thanks to CZcams and Ryan.
I am afraid of the cold. Maybe one we will visit. If you also decide to come this side for a visit let me know.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Australia is a bit far for us ,but I will say this .....when it does snow on Christmas day it is truly MAGICAL ! It also makes Santa Claus a bit more real(even for us adults). It's very cute watching the kids looking out the window for him and his reindeer.
It can get cold ,but we are geared up for it here. You'll be very surprised. After living in Canada ,Russia doesn't seem so scary for a holiday.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa And tell Marang that Ronin,Damien and Dalton(her fellow South Africans) living in the North Pole say "Hello"
Love how real you are👏🏾👊🏾 so many Black South Africans are so sensitive when it comes to these topics and would go as far as calling you a traitor, but hey I honestly advocate for doing what is best for you and must move if things are not working for you. We as Africans must be honest and point out the faults in our country and stop putting people in power when they are not helping us. Tired of SA😣
I honestly do not care much about anyone's opinion about who they perceive me to be. I know who I am and there was hell no way I would allow my children to grow up in shit just because I'm an African. That bus can miss me. We are so much happier here. Life is awesome. That's why I'm sharing this with fellow Africans to say hey, you're not a tree, you're not stuck. Leave as soon as possible
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa So true and I am motivated now more than ever to leave SA. Covid period showed me that SA is honestly a place one cannot feel secure and supported by the government. Glad you are happy and wish you all the best. As a parent, I am also motivated to seek the best opportunities for my kids.. Thank you so much! Highly encouraged.
That's because it's true .
@@bangibabs once you have decided let me know. I'm having groups organised on WhatsApp to help people migrate here. Watch my other videos to catch up and send me a message on any of my social media. Info is in my description. You're not a tree, your not stuck. Hamba!!!!
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa hubby and I are looking into Canada 🙏🏾. Thank you so much! 😘
You are amazing. I would like to relocate, my husband is a Medical Technologist specializing in Immunology and I have a tourism qualification currently working for a medical aid company as a CLO. I pray God opens a door for us in another country, I don't want to raise my kids in SA, I don't feel safe here.
We will continue our chat on Facebook ✌️🏽❤️ it's lovely meeting you sis
Hi Boitumelo, I'm a freelance journalist looking to write a piece about people wating to leave SA after the recent looting here and was wondering if you'd be interested in speaking to me? Please let me know and I'll send you over my contact details
@@joewalsh6947 no problem Joe you can send the details
@@boitumelosinesiphotabata1603 Great, well can you send me an email on joe.walsh660@gmail.com - we're essentially just looking for a few quotes on why you're looking to leave, how the latest violence/looting has impacted and a picture - but drop me an email & i'll explain more, thanks!
Same here yoh
My sister am originally from Limpopo I went to Unisa I did supply chain management degree i haven't got job for three years until I joined a security company and work is a security guard..I did went to interview most of the company they want experience...I really felt robbed in this country for the whole 4 and half of studying the only job that you find easily is security or shops Or bar tender.. restaurant job... even after that I tried Business there compliances are rediculars..some they asked for bribe so that you get your documents..this country is not for us young black south African..soo much exploration in this security industry with very low income.....I really think you did yourself a favour and am happy for you
Wow, this resonates with me so much. I'm born in Pretoria but I grew up in Siyabuswa. I have a teriary qualification in IT that I got in 2019 and I still don't have a job! I am always contemplate on leaving this country even though i love it.
I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. Hopefully manage to relocate. Remember Australia is not the only destination out there. I will try make videos about other countries South Africans can go to
Queen Elizabeth, you can't study IT and not have a job! Not in this day and age where IT is booming. Look harder please. Also, check twitter....too many IT opportunities there.
@@shibimakwela3040 you know any twitter handles in particular?
You are sitting on gold, good luck in your decision making
Girl congratulations on achieving your goals! People in the comments are jealous of your opportunity and courage lol.
Thank you for the love and support. We all have our own views in life so they don't bother me. I actually like them. The more they watch and comment the more my content pops up on their feeds and I also get suggested. What they are doing works for me
It's truly sad how they can't congratulate you and your family for moving and doing well in Australia, I am very happy for you!
I'm in the US and I'm glad to see you made a decision for a better life for you and your family. Some people want to keep praying and believing things will change and others will make things change by removing themselves and moving forward to a better life. I don't understand how black people just can't be happy for other black people who want a better life for themselves.
We were conditioned to attack each other. We find it hard to celebrate others. Im glad we left and I would never trade that for anything. I hope you are enjoying the US
But we can't be that negative about our country as if things are that bad is SA millions are flocking in to SA, we black SA people feel very bad when 1 of our own is spewing so much negativity and exaggeration about problems that different countries face. May black South Africans are thriving here at home and happy
Baltimore in America so much murders and drug abuse, racism in America is a big issue we saw black lives matter but people are flocking there, just watch videos millions are homeless is America but still millions are going there for better life
well discribed... finally a south african youtuber speaking the truth. most people in the comment section are in denial because these things happen so much (daily occurrence) that they are used to them...
Lol every person thinks their country is worse, believe me if she was to come stay in your country she would leave within a second of staying. South africa is the best in Africa but not compared to other countries in the world
@@maburwanejohannes4647 its funny because like her and you. im south African, yes born and raised in south Africa... i know the good, the bad and nasty things of south Africa because I have experienced it myself... south Africa is the best in infrasture, economy and some aspects but security... its one of the of the worst in the world
Leave nawe kaloku Sisi, we'll figure things out this side. Good riddance in fact
@@siviwemzantsi2235 Lol mxm
I'm Zimbabwean, I feel you sis. Also depression affects people around you, your family etc.
You are so blessed to have been able to move with your family. I’ve been living abroad for a year and I’ve decided to go back home because I missed having a support system, it’s been really lonely unfortunately. But I would defos advocate for people to move abroad and see a new side of life, even if it’s for a short period. Lovely video!
I can totally understand what you experienced. I could have never done with without my family. A lot of people to suffer from loneliness when they get here and that's why building relationships is important but it's hard as adults when we have work and a busy life. I do recommend people trying it because it is really eye opening and the challenge is good
Even ministers and presidents send their kids overseas and they relocate they know Africa has no future if it did their kids were going to contribute towards the economy but they dont Africa is a sinking ship as long as we have the leaders we have there wont be any change its better to move
I'm glad you left the country for safety. Just don't mind the jealousy people in this comment section.
Jealous of what?
How can we be jealous for people who are going to other countries that is not considering aboriginal people serious like people of the country. How did they get help if South Africa 🇿🇦 is that bad best of luck in Australia 🇦🇺 and don’t talk bad about place you coming from as if you will be tread great in a foreign countries. You are not the only who has masters degrees in South Africa 🇿🇦 and you still angry 😡 stop lying I am free.
Oh I remember your story from Carte Blanche. Glad I found your channel.
Lol welcome ❤️
Re etla!!!!!!! Thanks for validating my emigration dreams
You have to come! It’s great this side
We are coming
Hi Dineo, are you still thinking of 'making the move'. I'm a freelance journalist working on a piece about people looking to migrate from SA to ocuntries like Oz or Canada and was wondering if you would be intersted in speaking to me? Please let me know if you think you would. Joe
I am sorry for what you went thru. I always tell SAns who wants to leave to move abroad, make money and return when corrupt govt is voted out and re-invest. Mzansi has full of possibilities to grow but currently its pulled back by the greedy useless ANC . Let us pray for the 'real' change of the country
I don’t think I will ever return. I don’t know. But right now, I don’t see that happening for me. RSA is beautiful, rich and yes full of potential but greed and selfishness is causing all this. It’s every man for themselves. I chose me and will always choose me. I will pray with you for better days ✊🏽
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa Yes, we shall pray for the better🙏
We voted ANC out in GUATENG I was campaigning for ActionSa
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa don't come back
Our Problem with us black south africans- we do not understand voting and democracy.
We vote without reading the manuscript of a party.
We do not analysis parties and tick whsts good for you as an individual.
Very unfortunate is our low educational levels which prevent us understanding POLITICS.
I can relate south africa life not easy at all ,the west of it all if you're a foreigner oh God have mercy 😢
I hate how xenophobic South Africans can be especially to fellow black Africans. I am really sorry if this has been your experience and may you find it within you to forgive.
Where is it truly democratic for blks??? Whem moving to Australia, how are the blk indigenous treated there??
She doesn't care about that and probably won't do anything about it. She will be quiet and hypocrite, because her situation is going to be better than what indigenous are experiencing.
Aborigines live longer than South Africans. Dah !
All things are relative. Just as you look to leave SA, others are looking to leave their home and come to SA because they are dissatisfied with their home for various reasons. Trust that the U.S. provides many reasons for Black people to leave.
That's why US was never an option for us. What we saw on media did not sell the country to us at all
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa And Australia is better than the US in terms of racism 😅🤣😂🤣?
I love this sis, I was in Australia for two years and I can't wait to go back. I can relate with so much you have shared in this video.
Are you also moving to Australia?
We are staying here and we will fight until things get better whether it takes 50 years or so we will fight SA is not bad as she said.
Better stay there when things get okay this side.
Lol south africa is getting worse by the day . Don't know what fantasy you living in
Facts
@@camischar3692 Hence he said we will fight even if it takes 50 years.Then implies he understood the conditions South Africa is facing and living on hope which we all have.
I understand her concerns and bad experience but she will soon find out running off to the west is not the answer for black Africans- not in the long term anyway 🙏🏽
Happy you are Safe now 😘 we are located in southern Cameroon right now and will like to relocate to Australia with my family due to the killings in my country right now
I’m am so sorry for whats happening. It’s sometimes harder to get into Australia but it is possible for as long as you can fight to meet the requirements. I pray you make it here ❤️
Inspiring video. I am 21 years old and I am also planning to move to Australia too, at least by 2025.
It will happen. Believe it and work towards it. Even when it gets rough, be consistent and perseverance should be your best friend.
And what I hate most is that "when the ship sinks"(when SA becomes like Zimbabwe)and it WILL sink, they (all SA leaders) are gonna move to these European countries and we'll all be left here....
I'm moving shame. In 2022
They are set for life. So rich they can move to Dubai at any point in time. What about us? This is really painful I don’t want to lie. I am here to help those who want to jump off the titanic before it sinks. Because it’s sinking!
Good decision
Big up to you and your family... 🙌🏿 I have a masters degree with Wits, but I never managed to get employment since 2008. I had to get myself working as a consultant on anything. And I know I will never get employed because I have a different perspective, not because I don't qualify.
Since 2008??? 💔 I have no words. I don’t know what to say.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa yeah... It has been terribly bad and when one loses hope at that point, you start questioning the reason for continuing learning to a level of PhD/Doctorate. I had to think out of the box, started a company, however government makes it impossible to operate and make money. Hence many of black owned companies are subsistence based, unless if you have good connections in government, who also have influence in the private sector.
@@boitumelohuma5300 yoh Boitumelo...this broke my heart. I know how it's like feeling stuck! There is no movement back home. This side most business opportunities set you up for life! You have to come this side. Keep the same momentum and drive when you get here.
Eish
I graduated I 2011, never got a job after my graduation. Now, I'm re-skilling myself and hustling on the side to just survive. Unfortunately, I can't leave S.A. My biggest worry about leaving is the medical costs for my parents and youngest sister. Were it not for that, I'd have left a long time ago. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here.
Absolutely loved your video. Thank you. We left SA to move to the UK in March 2019. I see so much of own story in yours xx
Hey Annette. I hope you're enjoying the UK. It's rough back home. All we can do is be hopeful that things will change. In the mean time, we just have to chase a better life.
First of all u don't know my level, being in Australia is not making u any better than any African who is in Africa, enjoy your foreign life while we enjoying being Africans in Africa, some people are doing very well here without leaving their continent, it, s all about positive mindset. Like i said enjoy your dollars and shut up.
@@bonisilenontshintshi7959 true. Let's stay and fix our country. I won't feel comfortable being a minority. I believe that we can still fix this. Rwanda people came back to their County and fixed it. They are not like other africans who see a problem and run away. These people will come back when it gets tough.
@@bonisilenontshintshi7959 one wiseman said...you know what never mind. You won’t get it. Thank you for watching. Next time watch me on mute. That’s the shut up button. It’s amazing
@Mongezi Mngoma don’t allow him to drag you their their level. Not worth it
You such good story teller 😄 Even though you were discussing a serious and emotional topic you still managed to shed light, very entertaining. ✨
Lol comedy is a coping mechanism sometimes. I wanted to get though it as easy as possible.
Wow! I love your critical thinking skills. You are spot on, all these political parties are just working for themselves. I always tell people that: “do not let political parties define what freedom is for you”. Define freedom for yourself.👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
We are not free. Not yet. We are going through a different kind of oppression back home. It’s worse when you are black and in the village. There is no hope for us. We try but we don’t get too far.
Leaving ones country is very traumatic. It takes great resolve to abandon all South Africa is, apart from the grave situation. A friend who spent ten years abroad and has been back on a few holidays, said that he was going back, and would rather face the panga than live away from the incomparable beauty and all other aspects any longer.
It's good that you move. So some of us will stay here and try to fix our country. If we all run away. Who will fix this mess? I believe that we can do it.
I totally believe you guys can do it. We all have to respect each other’s choices and push forward. We chose this and we are happy with it
True mandy ,besides i wouldn't go to a place where whites are too much....unless if you are a snitch
Cut loose the deadwood no?
@@sherwindlamini5995 don't go to Upington lol
@@sherwindlamini5995 😂😂😂 have you tried Cape Town? I see a lot of snitches there 👀👀👀 keep an eye on it. Hectic 😂😂😂😂

welcome to australia hopefully u will find peace ❤️
Thank you all much. We love it here
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa It’s the best.
I perfectly understand that you don't hate your country South Africa 🇿🇦 but you have been disappointed by bad governance and life is too short to suffer in the name of patriotism. I left my s/hole country Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 for South Africa but SA is now on a downward spiral heading the ZIM way. It's time I leave Africa! Life is too short to suffer at the hands of poor governance by our so called comrades!
What’s happening at home is really heartbreaking. It’s getting worse everyday. I still have family that I wish I could help relocate but it’s a hard due to all the requirements. Life is too short, the world is huge and is ready to receive us.

Never been there in SA. But I believe that the describing one sided image of your home country is unfair. Ok go to aus, us, UK do whatever you want but never ever disrespect to your home country who gave birth to you. I am from Pakistan and want to go first world country for new life style but I will never disrespect to my country. People should not ashamed to their birth place or race etc. Hope you find better in your future. Best of luck
It's not even disrespect, what she's saying is true.she hasn't even touched the subject of trying to report that hijacking case to the police🙆♀️.right now I'm typing this message in the dark cos we have loadsheding for four hours 3times a day,and because of that water can't be pumped so we had water 3days ago.if this lady really have to start touching every point it will take her days to state every injustice
Ashat ul haq She is speaking the truth South Africa is extremely dangerous and crime is terrible there are 59 homocides everyday on average. Also there is loadshedding where the electricity goes off for 2.5hrs .I am also from SA and I am planning on immigrating to New Zealand.

💔 I am so sorry for that. I hope something comes soon. But don't give up okay! There are options elsewhere and it's okay to explore them
Congratulations, listening to your story , tells me you and your family will do ok in Australia! Always remember , the Family is more important, and negative comments, it’s just LIP SERVICE!

Very unpopular opinion but so true.
Could you make another video about what types of jobs South Africans can do in Australia? What scholarships are available there for foreigners?
My boyfriend and I are working and studying in South Korea, we’re considering moving to either NZ or Australia when we are done with South Korea.
PS: We thank the universe for your SO’s life.
Love and light to you.
I will look into that and create a video with the info. How is South Korea? I have a friend based there. When from my home town
Many of us in the U.S. wish to move to S. Africa, I'm actually planning a trip in Jan/Feb. We are tired of the blatant racism in America. So how are the Aussies treating you?
Is it more of wanting the experience or you've not been full exposed to what happens there? There is no Wakanda in Africa. We don't have pet wild animals. We did have electricity until the crooks we have in parliament stole the money now we have no electricity. We are going through the most as well. Racism in South Africa is subtle which makes it harder to deal with because people can't see it but it's felt and smelt in the air. It's horrible. It's sad and depressing.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa my sweet sister the racism we still face in America pails in comparison to any discrimination that we could face in any other country/nation/territory/island in the world. Wakanda was a very nice movie, but we know it doesn't exist on earth. Solar panels and generators are the answer to power outages. Corruption in govt!? Lol. Do u know much about Washingon DC?
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa also, there are already black Americans in S.A. that refuse to come back home.. that alone speaks volumes. Our financial buying power allows us to go, possibly migrate, make contribution and sheild ourselves from some of the unsavoury aspects of "whole experience". So, thats a plus. I have 2 small dogs that demand my attention n thats enuf, thank u.
@@uphylme9350 I cannot say I know a lot about what’s going on in America apart from what we see in the news and movies and other forms of media sharing what’s going on. I try to not believe news because of how sensored it is at times. I remember when my husband and I spoke about relocating. We had an option to go to the US and we both did not feel comfortable because of the racism there...plus Trump. I hope that we could all love each other and move on from this. For our children’s sake and their children and and and and. It’s mentally exhausting.
@@ThlologeloPromiseRampa yes ma'am you are exactly right, it is very exhausting, but i am so happy that u made the right decision for your family, that you are safe and happy.
